• Strategies for walking clients through the Drupal design and implementation process
• Some common red flags to look out for when talking to prospects.
Many teams insist they have no time or budget for user testing, even if they're convinced of the benefits. But what if you could find ways to create, implement and report on usability issues quickly and collaboratively?
In this session, designer and researcher Dani Nordin will outline the process she's developed at Harvard Business to bring user-centered design practices into an Agile product team. You'll learn techniques to rapidly benchmark your user experience, test and report findings , and align stakeholders on critical usability issues.

Project Management for Drupal - AB Drupal CampAnne Stefanyk
Building amazing Drupal sites takes takes planning and skillful project management, not just savvy design and good programing. With Drupal's modular nature and with so much being possible, it is important the team and project stays focused on what is important. Join Anne Stefanyk, a solution architect at northStudio, to discuss general project management methodologies and tools. The specifics around client expectations, project management roles, scope creep and best practices makes the biggest different in successful projects. Anne will share her experience in project management to help you scope, architect, and deliver beautifully built sites that make the most of Drupal.

Things to Budget for When Planning a Drupal ImplementationDani Nordin
This presentation, done for the Drupal Business Summit in 2012, covers factors that must be considered when planning Drupal implementations of medium to high complexity.
Making a website is more then making pretty picture and some sales jargon. You have to fully understand the project, your audience, current traffic trends and the even more important – the business goals before every writing a line of code.

Sure, you could do a lot of guesswork at the beginning of a website design project. Let’s build a template and throw in some placeholders, and see what becomes of it! Only to discover when the text and media come rolling in from your content creators that half the template needs to be rebuilt, and the menu structure you had in mind was way off-base.
This happens a lot, costing everyone involved valuable time and energy — especially you. Learn how to put content first in the sequence of design steps.
This talk will cover:
- Defining your audience and goals
- How to convince your client to provide content in a timely fashion
- Understanding, organizing, and prioritizing content
- Brainstorming ideas for optimal site and page structure

Increasing Design Influence by adapting your voice to your organization's dec...Dani Nordin
As designers, we like to think of ourselves as makers. When we’re working on large, wicked problems, the challenge is that “making” is no longer a solo endeavor; it’s something that requires a lot of people and functionality to make happen. This can leave designers feeling like we’ve had to compromise our standards to appease business or development stakeholders. It also inadvertently creates an us-versus-them mentality that actually makes it less likely that we’ll be successful in moving forward our vision of what’s possible.
So what does this mean for us? Simply understanding what your product’s users are dealing with isn’t enough. To make truly great products, you need to understand how people, organizations, systems and content play together. In this presentation, we’ll focus on some ways to help understand the organizational context you’re working within, and to adjust your approach to increase your success within those organizations.
We know that, as designers mature, they need to understand how to tell a story about their work. But how do you coach them in storytelling when stories can take so many forms depending on the phase of a project? In this presentation, Dani Nordin of athenahealth will share a framework she’s created to help designers at athenahealth craft a compelling story at various phases of a project—from design scenarios to research plans to portfolio case studies.
Mapping medication management to increase cross-product alignmentDani Nordin
In this case study, Dani Nordin and Janna Dupree, of athenahealth and Nuance, discuss how they used cross-product research and experience mapping to bring alignment to teams across two flagship product lines.
Rolling out a design system takes significant time and investment - one that many enterprises are reluctant to take on. What initially seems like the answer to achieving quality design at velocity quickly becomes a perceived bottleneck, as pieces of the system get rolled out slowly among the different products, and time and care needs to be spent making sure the codebase is stable, and the design elements can adapt to different use cases and design needs. How do you keep stakeholders from getting disgruntled? How do you keep the team motivated to keep working against the increasing pressures of executives, who can’t understand why things are taking so long?
In this session, you’ll learn how to:
* market and sell a design system into an organization
* make the case for continued investment
* set realistic expectations for stakeholders to avoid organizational panic
This session is for you if you’ve ever wondered how to start or sell a design system within an organization, but you’ve had trouble getting buy-in from your stakeholders.
As designers, we’re often tasked with incrementally improving existing experiences, or creating new features that have to live within an existing architecture. What’s more, creating those experiences requires working across a multitude of internal fiefdoms, each with its own set of priorities. How do you balance all of these considerations while maintaining a focus on user-centered design?
As UX becomes increasingly Agile, a need arises to quickly create and iterate new interface elements. Many popular frameworks exist to document front-end design patterns. Most of them connect directly to the website's CSS, and help developers easily create new interface elements and templates.
But what happens when the design and UX team can't work in code? How can we create truly cross-functional design documentation that works both for developers and designers?
In this session, we will describe the process we have been working on to document our existing design patterns and create a working set of elements that allow both for rapid iteration of design prototypes and implementation of templates in code.
This session is for UXers who work with teams that include both front-end developers and visual/interaction designers, who need to create and iterate on interfaces in rapid, Agile environments.
User Research for the Web and ApplicationsDani Nordin
Update of a talk originally given as a Skillshare workshop. Given at BioRaft Drupal Nights in summer 2013, and to be given at UX Boston in September 2013.
User Research for the Web and ApplicationsDani Nordin
In this workshop given for Skillshare, I discuss basic techniques and deliverables to help teams understand their site's users, organize content and visualize task flows.
In this presentation, Drupal for Designers author Dani Nordin will talk about the process of user experience design for the Drupal CMS, and some specific techniques and tools which can help make the process easier. You will learn:
• Why Drupal teams need UX designers, and how to sell strategic UX to your team.
* How to identify core user groups and recruit participants for user interviews to flesh out your understanding of the site's target audience.
• Why prototyping directly in Drupal isn't a great idea in the beginning phases of a project—and when going straight to Drupal is a good idea.
• Specific techniques that can be used in your next project to step up the user experience.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

4. Discovery
• Understand the client’s specific functional needs
• Get clear on the client’s marketing and business goals, and
how this project fits in
• Get a handle on resource issues, time investment and other
practical considerations
• Research the client’s competitive landscape and audience
5. UX/Architecture
• Get an understanding of the site’s target users
• Map out how users will flow through specific key tasks, and
what information needs to be there to support them
• Find out what content exists for the current site, what needs
to be created, and how the content will be organized
• Come up with a set of assumptions, and standards that will
govern the project as you move forward
6. Prototyping
• Start setting up initial Drupal architecture, and laying in
content to see how it works in “the real world”
• Test task flows and assumptions with real users, and see
where you need adjustments
• Refine functional requirements and understand what needs
to be done to finish the project
7. Functional Implementation & Theming
• Often happens concurrently
• Takes the knowledge gained in the UX, Architecture and
Prototyping phases and works it into a more finalized
version of the site
• Creates a set of visual and functional standards and applies
them to the site’s framework
• Can be the longest—or the shortest—part of the process
8. Testing and Launch
• Moves the site from development to staging
• Makes sure that everything is working correctly in the
new environment
• Makes last-minute updates to modules, content and
other customizations
9. Project Wrap-up/Retrospective
• Takes a look at what went well, what needed tweaking, and
assesses the client/design team relationship
• Creates documentation and understanding that will help
make future projects better
• May result in blog posts, articles, DrupalCamp sessions, or
even a book!
10. Talking to Clients about Drupal
• Speak in the client’s language; avoid “DrupalSpeak”
• Nodes = “pieces of content”
• Views = “content displays” or “page displays”
• Blocks = “callouts” or “bits of content”
• Content types = “types of content”
• Break down projects into logical chunks
• Sections of content
• Bits of functionality (e.g. “the homepage slideshow” or “the contact
form” instead of “creating all the content types”)
• Encourage them to give 3–5 pieces of *real* content for each
distinct content type
11. Estimating Drupal Projects
• Get enough data to understand how much work is involved
and which aspects of your approach will be most effective in
landing the project
• Be clear on numbers
• How many iterations will they get?
• How many types of content will you be creating?
• What happens if they go beyond the scope?
• Don’t bother if there’s not a good chance of winning
the project
12. Questions to ask
• What does your company do?
• Who are the people you’re trying to reach?
• What’s the primary message you want them to get?
• What are the functional goals of the website?
• What are the business or marketing goals of the website?
• Who will make decisions regarding this proposal, and about
the project itself?
• Are there any deadlines we should know about?
• What budget do you have set aside for this project?
13. Talking Money
• Talk money as soon as possible, but not before getting a feel
for the client and whether the project will be a good fit
• Have a range available, with a representative project
• “This site, [URL], had this type of functionality; we were able to put
that together for about $5k; this other site, [URL], was more complex
for [reasons], and that cost $20k
• Get a real number to work with
14. Talking time and effort
• Keep good time records; know what it takes to do something
• Don’t trust anyone who says, “why would it take you [x]
hours just to do content types?”
• Break down work by distinct bits of functionality or sections
of content; don’t promise “all Views delivered by [date]”
• Be realistic about schedule
